FAQs
What material are these trousers made from?
The trousers are made from Kingsmill Polycotton twill, which is a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a weight of 190g. They also feature a Texpel Finish.
How do I adjust the waist fit?
The waist is fully elasticated and includes a drawcord that can be tightened or loosened to achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
Are these trousers suitable for women?
Yes, the trousers feature a stylish unisex design, making them suitable for both men and women. However, due to the unisex cut, checking the size guide is recommended for the best fit.
How many pockets do the trousers have?
The trousers come with three pockets: two side pockets and one back pocket.
Will these trousers shrink after washing?
No, these trousers are designed to be non-shrinking, ensuring they maintain their shape and size wash after wash when cared for according to the instructions.
What does the Texpel coating do?
The Texpel coating is a premium stain-resistant finish that repels liquids like oil and water, preventing them from soaking into the fabric and protecting you from spills and grime.
Can I machine wash these trousers?
Yes, they can be machine washed at a maximum temperature of 40°C with similar colors. Avoid bleaching.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the drawcord for a tighter fit. If still too loose, consider tying a knot in the drawcord. For a consistently too tight or loose fit, re-check sizing charts and consider ordering a different size.
Texpel coating appears to be less effective.
The Texpel finish may degrade over time with heavy washing or abrasion. Ensure proper care instructions are followed. For significant loss of repellency, it might be time to consider replacement.
Fabric is unexpectedly stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not excessive amounts. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners which can interfere with the Texpel finish.
